A's LINE UPS MODEL

EARLY INNINGS #1-6
A's Outstanding Up the Middle Defense
  • CA: Sean Murphy's All Star Defense & #3 bat and Langeliers sharing duties is perfect here.
  • SS: Nick Allen's All Star Defense and average offense is perfect here. Batting 9th is the perfect spot for a table setter of Nick's potential. Prospect Depth is developing nicely.
  • CF: With Laureano out the A's tried LH Power Hitter Seth Brown in CF and may want to extend that platoon experiment with Pache who isn't hitting as yet. Pache has the body & reflexes to upgrade his hitting approach but now has 0 options, which means keeping him at the MLB level or exposing him to waiver claims by other teams.
Offense needs to Score More Runs for that UP the Middle Defense to Produce Wins
  • RF: Ramon Laureano with Cody Thomas, Conner Capel, Brayan Buelvas, Denzel Clarke as almost ready depth. The A's will probably be open to calls and a right offer for CF/RF Laureano if Cody is healthy & ready.
  • LF: Tony Kemp supplies frequent web gems and has a lead off bat. 2023 is likely a bounce-back year with the Ban against stacked defenses and playing for his next contract. See RF for available depth.
  • 1B: Dermis Garcia is steady as a rock and allows Tyler Soderstrom time to properly prepare at AAA (See Fall Line up). It would not surprise me if Dermis' 2022 experience at 1B and the off season leads him to noticeable improvements!
  • 2B: Defending in-between Nick Allen & Dermis Garcia seems very compatible with Sheldon Neuse's Arm & talents. Especially if he can provide more offense than other 2B options. Zack Gelof could join in the fun. (See Fall Line up).
  • 3B: Vimael Machin gets on base. Logan Davidson might add some power to the position? (See Fall Line up).
  • DH: When they aren't catching Langeliers & Murphy can DH. That said the bench can use another power bat. A Khrush or Big Hurt in their prime? ...or maybe Jordan Diaz?
